Match Thread Everton v Fulham - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Jebus_lives]

Danny, I think our performance against Newcastle was actually better than this and that was a pretty darn rubbish performance.

The players look fragile, if not frightened, with a real lack of composure from front to back. I'd be very surprised if we come away with a clean sheet.

We've had far too many of these games at home this season.

Low energy, sloppy and disinterested.

It's honestly like we don't trust ourselves with the ball.

 

[T LEAFE]

Are we pissed?

 

[paulbefc]

Loftus-Cheek is the sort of midfield player we're currently lacking

Apparently been terrible for them all season.

 

[joebocop]

The problem is not Richarlison. The problem is the midfield. Positionally, Gomes and Doucoure are very deep and are unable to link play with the forwards. It would be better to be in a diamond so that someone is more advanced and closer to their midfielders. Poor preparation for this game

Yeah this. Gomes for either iwobi or king at half time to try and sort this

 

[Jim Hopper]

Referee doing everything for them here must be their mate

 

[captainvindaloo]

Should be booked for diving!

 

[PhilM]

They actually play better than when they are, good team

They may play more attractive football, but they're not a good team. For me, the table doesn't lie and their inability to convert opportunities is a sign of this.

 

[GwladysBlue]

We always seem to play like the underdog no matter who it is against.

They’re 18th, ffs! Let them worry about our quality.

Look at Fulham’s starting 11, would any of them get in our starting 11? No why we playing like the weaker team?

Because a midfield of Gomes, Davies and Docoure is an absolutely terrible unit

Look at Fulham’s starting 11, would any of them get in our starting 11? No why we playing like the weaker team?

Cause some of them would get onto our starting xi?

 

[dannyboy]

All of our midfield has been awful. We've got a real problem in that area unless we're playing against one of the top sides. Weird thing to type.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Put a tackle in you useless prats.

Couldn’t agree more he’s working just we can’t get the ball to him formation is just wrong

 

[Amw79]

Shocking dive there.

 

[Jim Hopper]

40 minutes of Fulham dominance this is unacceptable.
